Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over TLS/SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL.

* This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Imap')

* To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
loImap.Ssl = 1
* The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
loImap.Port = 993

* Connect to an IMAP server.
lnSuccess = loImap.Connect("imap.example.com")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Login
lnSuccess = loImap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Select an IMAP mailbox
lnSuccess = loImap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
lnFetchUids = 1
loMessageSet = CreateObject('Chilkat.MessageSet')
lnSuccess = loImap.QueryMbx("ALL",lnFetchUids,loMessageSet)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    RELEASE loMessageSet
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
loBundle = CreateObject('Chilkat.EmailBundle')
lnHeadersOnly = 0
lnSuccess = loImap.FetchMsgSet(lnHeadersOnly,loMessageSet,loBundle)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    RELEASE loMessageSet
    RELEASE loBundle
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')
i = 0
lnNumEmails = loBundle.MessageCount
DO WHILE i < lnNumEmails
    loBundle.EmailAt(i,loEmail)

    ? loEmail.From
    ? loEmail.Subject
    ? "--"
    i = i + 1
ENDDO

* Disconnect from the IMAP server.
lnSuccess = loImap.Disconnect()
